@WhiskeySandwich oh right on! It’s a real well made piece. I actually like the geometry of the frame a lot more since hard tailing it. A lot less cramped up than the stock setup.
And yeah man that was my first crack at a spray gun paint job. Was originally just gonna be one solid colour but I got too ambitious when I was sanding the clear coat so I had to teach myself to airbrush to cover my sins haha

@NickD said in Motorcycles:
@SFMCfranky Mrs NickD is from very near Nottingham and we live about 30 miles away from there. Does he still have a Notts accent?
Not that I’m an expert on regional English accents, but yeah, he sure sounds like a tea sippin’ limey to me.

Some one said this is where the bike dudes hang out? Hoping to be joining you soon, have got my direct access course next month and fingers crossed will have a full motorcycle license by around 15 Sept!

@WithBongInHand that’s awesome dude! Best of luck with it! Have you got your eye on a particular bike yet?

@WithBongInHand @BenBWH Congratulations to the both of you. The freedom of riding on two wheels beats a car any day of the week and so very happy I made that decision years ago. Be careful, watch your surroundings, and always and I can’t stress always enough to expect the unexpected. Most drivers are idiots…some will say all

@goosehd thank you mate! Been wanting to do this my entire adult life but somehow it kept getting put off! This year that changes!
-
@NickD thanks man! At the moment yeah a few! Started off thinking Royal Enfield, possibly interceptor. The more research I’ve done I’ve swung toward Triumph, a Bonny or speed twin! Am currently fixated on a Kawasaki z650rs but of course this is all based on looks, reviews and vibes! Am fully expecting everything to change once I can actually test drive one! Any suggestions?

@goosehd Thanks man and I’ll certainly heed this advice. Other drivers being idiots has been the main reason I’ve put it off for so long.

@EvoChoppin yeah that was the best weld-on I could find and it’s done great since 2019. I suck at paint and would love to get an airbrush for my next project. Gonna get the Gasbox full frame for my rubber-mount sporty and I’ll probably try that.
You’re running a carb on that? -
@WithBongInHand dude I keep looking at an 883 iron but I feel like it a bit much for a first bike! I’d get so much shit of my mates!
Maybe I still will tho, I’m not big on what other people think so we shall see! Good luck with your course mate -
@BenBWH A bit much in terms of coin? Might as well get what you want when you know you’re gonna end up spending that money eventually anyways.
